Welcome to spooky season everyone—where the eternal struggle to find a new, clever or decent-looking homemade costume lives on.
That being said—and frankly the whole costume thing may be more of an “us” problem than a “you” problem—October is also a great month to give your designs, promotion tactics, social media presence and whole artist experience a trial run before the holiday rush really kicks up. Like we teased in the September creative brief, we’ll be in the midst of our seasonal marketing campaign called #InviteCreativityIn where we showcase all the ways people invite creativity and art into their lives this hosting season. So reach out, use the hashtag and dive in to our latest roundup of trends and tips.
